Trees thrive in community.
Your ROOTED Self will, too.
In nature, trees don't grow alone. Their roots intertwine beneath the surface, sharing nutrients, water, and strength. When one tree struggles, the others support it. This is how forests survive storms, droughts, and seasons of hardship. A single tree standing alone is vulnerable. But a forest — connected at the roots — is nearly impossible to uproot.
You don't have to do this work alone either.
The ROOTED Interactive Course Experience is a guided, 30-day journey that begins January 1st. We'll walk through the ROOTED: Your 30-Day Journey Toward Whole Self-Health guidebook day by day, alongside others who are doing the same work, with me actively present to guide, support, and encourage you through the process.
The ROOTED guidebook is the foundation — it's required for participation because it provides the shared structure we'll build from together. But the Interactive Course Experience is what brings it to life.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
This is not self-guided. Deanna will be actively present throughout the entire month. You won't be left to figure it out on your own or wonder if you're "doing it right." We're moving through the entire book together as a community.
Daily connection from Deanna means you'll receive guidance, encouragement, and insights to keep you grounded in the work.
Weekly live ZOOM calls (recorded if you can't attend) give us space to process what's coming up, answer questions, and work through real-life challenges together.
A private community space is where you can share, reflect, ask questions, and learn alongside others who are on the same path.
You'll have downloadable worksheets - all the reflection and planning tools from the book, ready for you to use.
And when you hit a roadblock, feel stuck, or need clarity, real-time support means you won't be alone.
HOW IT WORKS
Starting January 1st (our onboarding and welcome day), we'll work through the ROOTED guidebook together — day by day — following the structure laid out in the guidebook. You'll read each day's teaching, complete the journaling and reflection prompts, and build your Purposeful Eating Plan step by step through the PEP STEPS framework. You'll examine the twelve limbs that support your wholeness — boundaries, rest, relationships, mindset, joy, and more. You'll share your process with others who understand what you're working through and receive guidance from Deanna as questions and challenges arise.
Trees grow at their own pace, and so will you. The work meets you where you are and grows with you as you move forward.
WHO THIS IS FOR
The Interactive Course Experience is for anyone who has their copy of ROOTED (or has it on the way), wants to engage with the work in community rather than alone, and benefits from structure, accountability, and encouragement. This is for those who are ready to do the inner work and know they’ll follow through better with support, and for those who value having someone walk beside them through the process.
This experience is open to everyone — men and women alike.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
By January 31st, you'll have your own PEP (Purposeful Eating Plan) built from your lived experience and clarity on which limbs of Whole-Self Health need your attention. You'll have tools and practices that support your mind, body, and soul, plus a community of people who understand your journey. Most importantly, you'll have the confidence that comes from knowing you can trust yourself.
More than that, you'll have proven to yourself that you can show up, do hard things, and create something that lasts.

A WORD ABOUT TIMING
This experience begins January 1st and moves day by day through the month. While you can join after the 1st if your book is still being shipped, starting after January 4th or 5th means you'll need to do some work to do to get to where the group is. The best time to join is now, so you're ready to start strong on Day 1.
WHY JANUARY MATTERS
January is when most people are thinking about change - about starting fresh, doing things differently, choosing better. But by February, most of those intentions have faded because there was no structure, no community, no one walking beside them.
This is your chance to start the year differently. Not with another diet. Not with another set of rules that won't last. But with a path you build yourself, supported by people who are doing the same work.
READY TO BEGIN?
If you want to engage with ROOTED alongside others while being supported through the process, the Interactive Course Experience offers that opportunity.
Your ROOTED Self is ready to thrive in community. You can choose to feed your mind, body, and soul what it's asking for. This is how.

This is a 30-day commitment, and it does require showing up - for the work and for your whole-self. But anything worth having is hard work, and this is no different.
The ROOTED Interactive Course Experience is designed to be worked through day by day in real time because that's how we grow together as a community.
Trees grow at their own pace, and the work will meet you where you are. If life happens and you need some extra time with certain days, you won't be left behind. Deanna and the community will be there to support you no matter where you are in the process.
-
The private Facebook group is optional.
The ROOTED Interactive Course Experience itself — including daily connection from Deanna, weekly ZOOM calls, and all the worksheets — stands on its own. But the group is there if you want extra encouragement and connection with others doing the work alongside you.

MEET YOUR COURSE GUIDE
I’m Deanna Ley, and for the past several years I’ve guided well over a thousand amazing people through live, interactive experiences focused on rebuilding trust with food, health, and themselves. What began with the I CHOOSE ME No Sugar | No Flour 30-Day CHALLENGE grew into deeper work through THE DEDICATED WAY, and eventually into open-to-all experiences, including the I CHOOSE ME No Sugar | No Flour 30-Day COURSE. and now ROOTED.
ROOTED: Your 30-Day Journey Toward Whole-Self Health brings together the tools, reflections, and lived lessons that represent the next natural step in healing. It focuses on building trust in your own inner wisdom so you can develop a personalized and purposeful path that fits the whole of you - mind, body, and soul - while staying grounded in your pursuit of peace, freedom, and joy.
Beyond ROOTED, I lead the CORE4 Community, where women go deeper with ongoing guidance and support. I also work with women one-on-one through coaching, and I’m the founder of the NO SUGAR! NO FLOUR! NO PROBLEM! Facebook group — a community that’s now almost 76,000 strong.
I create spaces where people can heal their relationship with food and with themselves through honest conversation, practical tools, and lived connection. ROOTED reflects my own journey of learning how to live from a place that feels grounded and whole, and it’s my hope that it supports you in doing the same.
